Structure, Molecular Mechanisms, and Evolutionary Relationships in DNA Topoisomerases

TL;DR: A synthesis of approaches has provided researchers with new physical insights into how topoisomerases employ chemistry and allostery to direct the large-scale molecular motions needed to pass DNA strands through each other.
Journal ArticleDOI

The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid phosphoprotein forms mutually exclusive condensates with RNA and the membrane-associated M protein.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that the N protein's central disordered domain drives phase separation with RNA, and that phosphorylation of an adjacent serine/arginine rich region modulates the physical properties of the resulting condensates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elimination of Toxic Microsatellite Repeat Expansion RNA by RNA-Targeting Cas9

TL;DR: RNA-targeting Cas9 (RCas9) reverses hallmark features of disease including elimination of RNA foci among all conditions studied, reduction of polyglutamine protein products, relocalization of repeat-bound proteins to resemble healthy controls, and efficient reversal of DM1-associated splicing abnormalities in patient myotubes.
